Each
year, the Associate Editors of the journal select the best article from
the previous year's volume. The awardee is presented the Alzheimer
Medal, a 3" bronze medal with the likeness of Alois Alzheimer.
This yearly award is sponsored by Elan Pharmaceuticals,
and, through their generous support, the winner of the 2008 Alzheimer
Award received a USD7,500 cash prize.
